Ocular metastases from systemic melanoma

D H Char, A Schwartz, T R Miller

    American Journal of Ophthalmology
    |November 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Fine-needle aspiration aids in diagnosing metastatic ocular melanoma when no tumor is visible. Cytologic examination of ocular fluids is key for identifying this rare cancer spread.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Oncology
    • Cytopathology

    Background:

    • Metastatic melanoma to the eye is uncommon.
    • Diagnosis can be challenging without a detectable ocular mass.

    Observation:

    • Two patients presented with metastatic melanoma confirmed by cytologic examination of ocular fluids.
    • Neither patient had a clinically apparent ocular tumor.

    Findings:

    • Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy of ocular fluids yielded diagnostic cytologic material.
    • Cytologic analysis confirmed metastatic melanoma in both cases.

    Implications:

    • FNA with cytologic examination is a valuable diagnostic tool for metastatic ocular melanoma.
    • This technique can aid in early diagnosis and management of intraocular metastasis.
